In fact, Chen Shen did not intend to use these forty kilograms of Five Elements Spiritual Stones in the Spirit Extraction Array.
Because he had long known that one kilogram of Five Elements Spiritual Stones, if exchanged for upgrade experience, would be equivalent to approximately 10,000 points.
Forty pounds is four hundred thousand.
For other cultivators, it is very cost-effective to spend a few hours to absorb forty kilograms of Five Elements Spiritual Stones and then gain a sudden increase of four hundred thousand "experience points".
But this is not the case for Chen Shen: because he has the Experience Orb.
Now that 100 million gold coins have been accumulated, as long as he collects another 100 kilograms of spiritual stones, he can open the experience orb and gain 10 million experience points instantly!
Between 10 million and 400,000, any fool knows which one is more cost-effective.
Next, the grandfather and grandson started chatting while drinking fragrant tea.
"Shen'er, grandpa, I have to admit that you did a good job in planning a counterattack this time. There is only one thing that I still can't figure out. How did you know that Xia Lie would definitely refuse to plead guilty?"
"Is it possible that the Dragon-Slaying God in the Panlong Blood Jade also taught you the ability to predict the future?"
"How is that possible!"
Chen Shen curled his lips: "I just inferred his behavior based on his personality."
"When Xia Lie rescued Xia Caiyue during the Top 100 Competition in the Hundred Schools League, he also did not forget to kill me. This shows that he has a straightforward and irritable temperament and cannot hide hatred in his heart."
The young man talked like a mature wise man: "Once such a person suffers a huge injustice, there is almost no possibility of admitting his wrongdoing. What's more, he is a strong Xuan King and has the dignity and arrogance of Xuan King."
"In his heart, he probably only recognizes the King of Huainan as his master, but he has a perfunctory attitude towards the current majesty. When he is angry, he will naturally show his sharp side."
"I see……"
The night is already deep.
Chen Shen returned to his small courtyard to sleep.
The elders pestered Chen Zangfeng and asked him questions. They seemed to be very concerned about Chen Shen's current situation. But in fact, there were many who had other ideas, especially Chen Jinyang and his two sons.
On the way, the second uncle Chen Xiaohai sneaked back and met Chen Shen in his bedroom. After chatting for a while, he left in a hurry, as if he had other important matters.
As for Shun Lao and Ling'er, they were not in Chen Mansion at this time, but in a restaurant that had just been sold out.
The two men were dressed in robes and masks, directing a group of craftsmen who were busy decorating the restaurant.
Bodyguard sister Xiang Nanren, as well as Zhang Yidao and Lu Yijian, were also running in and out at the moment, but they didn't know what they were busy with.
…
At the same time, the imperial palace, Xiangyuxuan.
After Xia Caiyue entered the palace to greet the queen, she was arranged to stay here for a while.
At this moment, she was sitting at her desk, writing something furiously. If anyone could get close to her at this moment, they would be surprised by the content on the paper——
There were two pieces of writing paper spread out on the desk, one of which was densely written with the reasons for Xia Lie's death and the results of their investigation in the imperial capital during this period.
Among them, there are many top secrets about the military and political system of Daxia, which are shocking!
On another piece of paper, there were written instructions on how to frame Chen Shen. Yes, it was another frame-up, and it was done when she knew that Chen Shen had exploding Gu worms in his body and that he would soon die.
It must be because of the humiliation she suffered before that the blue-haired and blue-eyed girl's hatred for Chen Shen became even deeper, and she couldn't wait even one more day...
After writing, Xia Caiyue put the two letters into sachets of different colors and walked out.
"See the princess!"
"Without any courtesy, I want to go for my convenience, so you don't have to come with me."
"Yes!" The maid who was ordered to stay outside the house responded respectfully.
In fact, Xia Caiyue did not go to the toilet, but walked around the back wall of Xiangyuxuan and slowly touched the wall with her bare hands.
At a certain moment, her eyes lit up, and she pulled out one of the loose wall tiles with her fingertips. Then she said in a very weak voice: "The foundation is shaken by the wind and rain, and the building will collapse."
After a short breath, a response came from the other side: "The true dragon will return to the mountains and rivers, and the country will be overthrown."
Hearing this, Xia Caiyue was overjoyed: the code matched, and the person on the other side of the wall should be one of my grandfather's spies buried in the palace.
After thinking about this, the girl spoke again: "There are letters in the two sachets. They must be sent out of the palace as soon as possible."
"The red one is for my grandpa. The orange one is sent to the general Chen Binyang. Remember, he must receive it in person."
While speaking, Xia Caiyue handed over the two sachets smoothly.
After the person on the other side took over, he quietly replied: "Yes!"
The girl then smiled with satisfaction and thought to herself: "Chen Shen, don't think that this matter is over! While you still have some sense, why didn't you still be tricked into prison by this princess?"
"Now you have become a fool again, hahaha... This princess has even more ways to kill you! It will also destroy your entire Chen family!"
On the other side of the back wall of Xiangyuxuan, a man in a little eunuch uniform stuffed the sachet into his sleeve pocket, and then left in a hurry...
Within half an hour, Chen Jinyang had received the letter written by Xia Caiyue.
After browsing for a while, he frowned: "Xia Lie actually died like this? Chen Shen took this opportunity to escape from prison!"
"However, that little beast has turned into an out-and-out fool again, which is good news, hahaha..."
Then, the old guy called his two sons over and whispered something. The two men's eyes lit up and they had smiles on their lips, looking very expectant.
…
The next morning, a scorching sun hung half in the eastern sky, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
But at this time, the Imperial Capital Academy was in a state of chaos——
"Oh my God, how come this prison is half destroyed?"
"I don't know. Could it be that a detained student escaped from prison?"
"How is it possible? The prison was built with green stone. Even if a cultivator at the peak of Xuanshi's level hits it with all his strength, it can only blast out a small hole. How can it cause the tragedy of more than half of the entire prison collapsing?"
"Fortunately, few people have been detained in the academy prison during this period. Otherwise, those affected by such natural and man-made disasters might not even be able to save their lives..."
The students were talking a lot. Of course, there were also some people who lived nearby when the incident happened. They added fuel to the fire and made outrageous claims about what they saw and heard.
As a result, various versions of rumors and stories were flying all over the sky, spreading throughout the streets and alleys in just one morning. It was not until the deputy dean Xiao Chenghuang issued a gag order that all the students with open minds shut their mouths.
.
For the people who really knew the truth last night, they didn't dare to say anything. After all, it was about the King of Great Xia, and no one wanted to make themselves unhappy.
At this time, Chen Shen's small courtyard welcomed a rare guest - the little princess, Xia Qingchan.
